Grant, what a beautiful looking Xebec! The fact that your swear-jars are overflowing, well, maybe the Admiral deserves a little treat...

I have an admission to make: while I enjoy the lines of your Xebec from bow to stern, I still can't get used to that heli deck of yours; to me it looks out of wack, when compared to the rest of the ship. It has an almost B17-like appearance, it's nick being a big a.. bird...
Having said that; it's your model, your decisions and when all is said and done, it will very likely find a proud spot in the Grant household, my remarks a mere footnote in the history of this build.

Good morning Johan. Thank you. Funny you mention a treat for the Admiral….it is our 33 wedding anniversary today and she deserves to be spoilt putting up with me for so long…and so she will be.

I like it….”Grants Heli deck”. I now know what it is calledROTF. It was one of the design aspects I did over and over again. I did let the structure flow inwards )like @Ptèr showed is correct), outwards like the Monograph drawings but each made my stern not work. So Grants Heli deck was born. I really do enjoy it tho. Let’s see how it progresses as I continue. Cheers Grant
 
33 Years!. Congratulations to you both in sharing this time together. We also have been married 33yrs, a joy ride of Bliss, Excitement and Happiness. Still waiting for our first disagreement or argument. I just do as I'm told :rolleyes:

Good morning, Grant. I had to catchup a few pages, but the post with this pictures of the hull are very nice! Her lines looks great. And with your personal approach is nothing wrong.
And my (belated) Congratulations with your wedding day. My Best Wishes for the next 33-years.
